A big challenge in Uganda is the high morbidity/mortality rates among infants and mothers, which are enhanced by poor performance of health units. The Diocesan Health Office in Jinja piloted a Performance Based Financing approach with good results. About us Cordaid is the Catholic Organisation for Relief & Development Aid, with its headquarters in the Netherlands. We have been fighting poverty and exclusion in the world's most fragile societies and conflict stricken areas for almost a century. We support people in vulnerable regions and areas of conflict to build flourishing communities. We do this by enhancing safety, by creating opportunities and bringing out the best in people. Our network consists of 634 partner organizations in 34 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. As social entrepreneurs we work together with parties who want to participate in development and cooperation. With almost 400,000 private donors we enjoy broad public support and are deeply rooted in Dutch society. 100 years of experience The last 100 years Cordaid has been helping the most vulnerable people worldwide. Times have changed, but our mission has not. Today we work in the most vulnerable regions and conflict areas worldwide as well as in the Netherlands, as our 100 years' experience has taught us that creating opportunities is key for all. www.cordaid.org Facebook: Cordaid Twitter: @Cordaid
